The qof ק starts off like a kof כ but the lower part is bent pointing to death. Then a vav ו on the left springs up from below the baseline, from death, and returns to the top. There is a little gap between it and the top.

By way of interpretation; The Son of God died, but did not fully die. The final nun ן says that the Son of Man fully died, since it descends below the line. The Son of God was separated from the Father in death, but his life did not cease, so the line does not descend below the baseline. In death, the Son of Man was restored to his glory, so his limited state ceased and he became the Son of God in the grave and in resurrection. Remember, these are only titles suggesting the state of Christ. There is no difference in the person of the Son of God and the Son of Man. The titles force us to look at Jesus from different points of view.

"Qof" ק or קף means 'encompass'. We might say that the death and resurrection of the Son of God ק is surrounded, or encompassed in the completed mystery or prophecy ף. Or as Jesus said it better: All the scriptures speak of him. [v 1] [1]

  1. ± Pr 25:2 [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.
